When I saw Young Gods, two of the guys from The Hard-Ons (very successful local American style Punk band) were standing just across from me, with Kent Steedman from The Celibate Rifles (I went to school with his brother) and their jaws spent most of the show on the floor. They could not believe how good sampled guitars could be. Helluva show! They could open for AC/DC and not be out of place.

Nice! Good era for all of them, too.
I've seen all of them multiple times, but never saw Young Gods, now I have to wonder if they never came to my area or if I just missed them over the years.

Here's a couple more lineups I would have loved to see, say about 1979/1980 or so, grabbing a flight to England:

Clock DVA
Cabaret Voltaire
Human League
John Foxx
Gary Numan

and then coming back to America:

Chrome
Wall of Voodoo
Suicide
Pere Ubu
Devo

Sandhi & the Sunsetz
Ippu Du

At any time during sets they can switch up to the various solo/collaborative configurations they all worked together in
with cameo guest appearances by Peter Murphy & Midge Ure who both worked with Mick Karn, Robert Fripp & Jon Hassell who worked with David Sylvain & David Byrne & Robin Scott who worked with Riuichi Sakamoto

Yeah, I picked 94 cos that was when Downward Spiral was released, last album i liked by them/him. The others all had a good back catalogue by then.
